Just read today's Three Bet on
Pokerlistings[http://www. pokerlistings. com/daily-3-bet-duhamel-clocked-weisner-locked-poker-for-glory-82305]
on how German player Martin Finger decided that it was a
good idea to sucker punch Jonathan Duhamel in the face. The post goes on to state that Duhamel "likely deserved" a
bit of what he got.

Lately there has been a ton of talk in the poker world about
washing your hands after going to the bathroom. I hate to break it to you folks, but I am not as worried
about Mr. "forgot to wash his hands in the bathroom" guy as
I am about some of these other folks. *Cashiers and Chip Runners*
If there is anyone that should be wearing gloves inside of
the casino, its these folks.

Last month, I reported on how there was "something going on
at PokerRoom. com. "

Got some somewhat sad news today as Jimmy Sommerfeld, one of
the best tournament directors in the business, is stepping
away from the game. Here is his announcement from TwoPlusTwo forums:
I started in the poker business some 18 years ago, because I

room, the games and the tournaments and.

I hope that everyone had a Happy New Year and that you are
still well on track with your New Year's resolutions. To kick things off, I'm going to give you my January Redhead
of the Month. This month's redhead isn't just some girl I
found at random on Google images or another poker player. "Oranjegirl" got hold of me and let me know that she was a
big fan of the site.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Just ask *Jonathan
Duhamel*. As many of you know, Jonathan Duhamel was a victim of a home
invasion last week where he was badly beaten and had his
*2010 WSOP Main Event* bracelet taken along with some cash
and his Rolex given to him by PokerStars for winning the
event. Now, three people have been charged in connection with the
robbery.

Yesterday, I was browsing through my twitter (shameless link
placement) and I ran across the following tweet from Gloria
Balding:

mad woman to move across the country to Virginia. Countdown
T-Minus 4 days. As a resident of Virginia, the first thing that came to my
mind was.
